Equipment

  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • Saucepan
  • Ladle

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. crispy roast pork cut into 1 ½-inch chunks
  • ¼ lb. shrimp
  • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 pc. onion
  • 4 pcs. garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp. fresh ginger
  • 2 tbsp. fish sauce
  • 2 tbsp. white vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. tomato paste
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 6 cups chicken broth

  • ½ lb. beans
  • 1 pc. bitter melon medium size

Instructions
 

  • Heat a sizable saucepan over medium heat and add the oil.
  • Sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger in the oil until fragrant.
  • Add the salt, broth, tomato paste, vinegar, and fish sauce to the saucepan, stirring well to combine.
  • Once the broth is blended, lower the heat, and add the long beans, eggplant, and tomatoes. Cover the pot and allow the vegetables to boil until they are almost cooked, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the shrimp and bitter melon, and simmer until the shrimp turns pink.

Notes

  • For the finest flavor, make sure your dry spices are fresh and have not gone past their expiration date.
 
  • It is worthwhile to purchase a heavy pot with a thick bottom to make soups. It will distribute heat evenly and prevent scorching, which could give your soup a burnt flavor.
 
  • Sauté aromatic vegetables like onions and garlic. In addition to softening their texture to prevent an unwanted crunch in the soup, sautéing also softens any astringent qualities and generates more complex flavors. Generally speaking, medium heat is ideal for sautéing.
